Chapter 56 Meeting the parents

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "Hello, uncle and aunt, sorry to bother you."

Seeing Yu Zhesen bending down and bowing so seriously, Chu Yuexi subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth, worried that his "wig" would fall off.

"Xiao Sen! Come in quickly, you don't have to take off your shoes! It's okay!" Chu's mother took the two handbags from Yu Zhesen's hands and greeted her warmly.

In contrast, Father Chu seemed more restrained and steady, with a faint smile on his face and nodded to Yu Zhesen:

"Hello, welcome to our home."

Yu Zhesen maintained a simple and polite smile and was gently pushed to the living room by Chu Yuexi.

The community where Chu Yuexi's home is located is across the street from the community where Lu You lives, and it is only 1 kilometer away from the intersection where the accident where his death was predicted to occur yesterday.

If the predicted car accident really happens, the explosion of liquid nu2 energy will probably endanger this place. Thinking of this, Yu Zhesen can't help but feel lingering fear.

"Hey...are you nervous?" Chu Yuexi approached him and asked softly.

"A bit..."

Yu Zhesen was surprised by Chu Yuexi's keen insight. She actually captured the changes in his micro-expressions in an instant.

"Xixi, you guys sit down first while mom cooks two more dishes."

Several plates of hot dishes were already placed on the dining room table, and Chu’s mother entered the kitchen again carrying the handbag containing the ingredients.

"Auntie is so amazing."

Yu Zhesen looked at the dishes with meat and vegetables that were delicious, tasty, and admired them sincerely.

"Sit down." Chu Yuexi winked at him.

The TV in the living room is on, playing local news from Qidao City.

Yu Zhesen seemed to be staring at the TV screen intently, but in fact his mind was blank.

Although he had expected this situation a long time ago, he didn't have any countermeasures in mind. He could only take it one step at a time...

Father Chu entered the bedroom and returned to the living room a few minutes later with two more packs of cigarettes in his hand.

Yu Zhesen waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't smoke, thank you uncle."

Father Chu nodded with some relief: "Okay, pretty good."

Then he sat down next to Yu Zhesen, picked up the glasses on the coffee table and put them on: "Thanks to you for sending Xixi to the hospital in time. I didn't expect that something like this would happen in such a prosperous place as Dream Journey Park in Youbu District. Qidao City

The patrol specialist of the Security Bureau’s field department is too nervous..."

Yu Zhesen showed an expression of deep approval, pursed his lips and nodded sharply.

Chu Yuexi looked a little embarrassed at the side, thinking to herself, Dad, isn’t this the same as scolding her daughter for being useless?

"When such an accident happened on a good blind date, you didn't have time to deepen your understanding of each other, right?" Chu's father sighed with regret, "But I heard from Xixi that you also visited her in the hospital afterwards, which really made you worry.



"Ah...this is what I should do..."

Father Chu nodded: "As the old saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. From a certain point of view, this matter may actually enhance the relationship more than participating in blind date activities step by step, hahaha..."

"Dad..."

Even Chu Yuexi felt that her father was too straightforward and she was a little embarrassed.

But Yu Zhesen gave a positive answer: "Indeed, after these things, the intern and I understand each other better."

"Intern?"

Hearing Yu Zhesen's name for his daughter, Chu's father was stunned for a moment.

Yu Zhesen was also stunned for a moment. It was true that he was used to calling "intern", so he blurted it out without paying attention.

"Are nicknames popular now? It seems that I am out of touch with the times and can't understand you young people, haha..."

Father Chu scratched his head and suggested humorously: "Xixi, why don't my mother and I call you an intern at home from now on?"

Chu Yuexi blushed and protested: "I will end my internship period and become a full-time employee soon!"

Yu Zhesen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, congratulations."

Chu's father said to Yu Zhesen: "To be honest, our child has been very kind since she was a child. She has always been willing to actively help others. Now she wants to take the security bureau exam herself, and neither her mother nor I can persuade her."

Yu Zhesen glanced at Chu Yuexi, who turned his face to the other side, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Well, I can see it."

Father Chu smiled bitterly and sighed: "I'm just very stubborn sometimes...how should I put it..."

"A bit stubborn." Yu Zhesen answered.

"Yes, yes, she is a bit stubborn." Chu's father agreed very much, "Actually, my mother and I were quite worried in the early years when she was still in school."

Yu Zhesen showed a puzzled expression: "Worried?"

Could it be that Chu Yuexi's character was more radical when she was a student?

"Her hair was much shorter than it is now, probably about the same as yours." Chu's father picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. "When she participated in the school badminton team, few boys could beat her."
"Um, uncle, when you say you can beat boys... do you mean playing badminton?"

Chu Yuexi's cheeks bulged, and she wanted to pinch Yu Zhesen's arm secretly, but the latter avoided it as nimbly as if there were eyes on the back of his head.

Father Chu laughed loudly: "It seems that Xiaosen, you are quite humorous. You were not relaxed enough before. It's okay to be casual. Don't be too rigid."

Yu Zhesen said to himself that the question I just asked was serious.

It seems that Chu Yuexi had more sports training than ordinary people when she was a student, so is it normal for her to be able to defeat a weak boy?

"Oh, you guys had such a good time chatting. Now let's start dinner." Chu's mother brought out two plates of freshly cooked dishes from the kitchen and greeted everyone to the table with a smile.

Chu Yuexi and Yu Zhesen both showed expressions of relief.

"Do you want something to drink?" Chu Yuexi asked Yu Zhesen for his opinion.

"What are the options?"

"Milk or juice." Chu Yuexi looked serious.

"Aren't there any carbonated drinks or beer?" Yu Zhesen sneered.

"Mom doesn't allow these unhealthy things to appear in the house." Chu Yuexi replied quietly, with an embarrassed smile.

"Okay, let's take milk." Yu Zhesen compromised.

Chu Yuexi nodded happily, smiled at him and blinked: "I'll pour it for you, you hold on, there's still the second half."

"Hey, we're here." Yu Zhesen gestured to reassure her.

A hero cannot escape from battle.

As Chu Yuexi said, the chat with Chu's father at the coffee table was just a warm-up. The crucial second half was when Chu's mother joined him at the dinner table.

This is the so-called indispensable highlight of "meeting parents" - family background check.

The moment he sat down at the dinner table, Yu Zhesen was already mentally prepared. He knew that the following conversation would inevitably involve his deceased parents and An Jia, who later adopted him.

When Chu Yuexi was in the hospital, she had already heard him mention once that his parents had sacrificed their lives early as commissioners of the Security Bureau, but judging from the looks of Chu's parents, they probably didn't know this yet.

There is nothing to hide, he plans to tell the truth.

As a result, Chu Yuexi's parents were caught off guard at the dinner table when they heard what Yu Zhesen said about "the riots in Starzhou City in the 52nd year of the Iron Dome Era" and the fact that both of her parents died as commissioners of the Security Bureau.

The chopsticks in Chu's mother's hand fell on the table, and her eyes widened in disbelief, full of sympathy and sadness.

Father Chu's expression also became solemn and solemn, and he slowly took off his glasses.

"Uncle and aunt, you don't have to be like this. It's been a long time. And I was still young at that time, so I didn't quite understand the meaning of 'lost'." Yu Zhesen explained to them in turn.

"What happens after that? You came here alone all these years? Did you rely on the help of the administration?" Chu's father asked with concern.

"My parents' colleagues adopted me." Yu Zhesen smiled slightly, "I completed my studies in Xingzhou City, and the growing environment was not much different from other people of the same age. As for coming to the Seven Islands alone... mainly because I want to grow up in the future.

Live the way you like."

Chu's father and Chu's mother both nodded slightly.

Afterwards, both parties unanimously changed the topic to a more relaxed direction.

In a nonsensical tone, Yu Zhesen recounted his encounter with his roommate Shen Yunqiu when he came to Qidao City, and jokingly called it "two stray dogs adopting each other."

Chu Yuexi also told an interesting story about her joining the internship. On the day of joining the internship, due to the negligence of the on-duty staff, her ID was not entered into the access control system. As a result, she was locked in the tea room of the activity room for three hours after work. The last person who came to pick someone up was Meng Dongxia...

Just when Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi both felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was very pleasant, Chu's father suddenly asked a very exciting question.

"When do you plan to go to the Marriage and Childbirth Bureau to register your marriage?"
